Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) brown sugar
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Juice of 1 lime (about 2 tablespoons or 30 ml)
  • 4 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs (about 1.5 to 2 pounds, or 680-900 grams)

Instructions:

  1. In a mixing bowl, whisk together soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic, grated ginger, sesame oil, black pepper, and lime juice until well combined.
  2. Place chicken thighs in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring each piece is well-coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for 1-2 hours.
  3. Preheat grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F or 190°C).
  4. Take chicken out of the marinade, letting excess drip off. Discard the marinade.
  5. Place chicken skin-side down on the grill. Cook for 10-12 minutes.
  6. Flip the chicken and continue grilling for another 10-12 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  7. Remove chicken from the grill and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
  8. Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds, if desired. Enjoy!
